My first sub. Look at it upside-down too...:) Thanks W.S.





Now, my co-mates and brothers in exile,

Hath not old customs make this life more sweet

Than that of painted pomp? Are not these woods

More free from peril than the envious court!

Here feel we not the penalty of Adam,

The seasons difference; as the icy fang

And churlish chiding of the winters wind,

Which when it bites and blows upon my body,

Even till I shrink with cold, I smile and say

This is no flattery; these are counsellors

That feelingly persuade me what I am.

Sweet are the uses of adversity;

Which, like the toad, ugly and venomous,

Wears yet a precious jewel in his head;

And this our life, exempt from public haunt,

Finds tongues in trees, books in the running brooks,

Sermons in stones, and good in everything.

I would not change it.



-William Shakespeare

first mother fuckers!!!



hehe nice

very nice for the theme

nice idea!!!!

I normally don't like anything with skulls, but this really appeals to me. I like the shadows a lot.

this is cool... nice take on the theme.

I love your concept, the colors and the artwork.

$5

Glad I saw this before I did my idea... pretty damn close to your idea. Good work

defiinately cool.

i really like this and would wear it

One of the only shirts I like so far.

this is so cool, I love it!

Aww it makes me sad... nice first sub.

Awesome..5 and buy

very nice concept

and also very nice design

I like

I agree that this is probably one of the better concepts I have seen on this site for a long time. I fived it, but I think it still could use some drawing improvement in order to be REALLY freaking awesome. It would be awesome if you could redraw it in the style of old cross-hatched political cartoons kind of, or just any kind of antique cross-hatched etching. Then I would definitely buy this.

I love the idea

wicked shadows!

too cool

any chance on having it on a different colored tshirt?



great work though. hope it gets printed

this is quite amazing, I love the detail!



Is that a mouse or squirrel in the hind leg of the deer's shadow, or am i just seeing things?

Ha! I never noticed that...it's a stylized deer pelvis that happens to also look rodent-y. Thanx.

i think the squirrel-ish looking shadow bones look pretty

like finding a toy in your cereal box

i think this is the best shirt so far for the theme.

great job!

i cant describe how much i really love this

$$$$$$$$$$$5

i like this but it would be absolutely awesome to have the poem, or parts of it somewhere on the shirt. maybe on the back or side....

clever

i love it. the poem would be cool on the back side i think. $5

i like this a lot. neat idea & I think the drawing is fine.

the only thing that bugs me is the live tree, it would help if it was colored in- it's disappearing into the background.

re: olie!



I think that cross-hatching would be a great idea and would look gorgeous with this concept. My concept was to make it intentionally naive or folk-arty. I hoped that sort of odd flattening would give it an extra bit of sorrow.



cheers!

Mind blowing...

very nice...goood idea!

holy crap, thats cool

I love 'As You Like It'

You rock.

Friggin awesome.

sweet sweet concept
